Cara Delevingne has made no secret of the fact that she aspires to be an actress, telling
The Telegraph
's Tim Walker last year that she hoped her small role in 2012's
Anna Karenina
would lead to more, bigger film roles.

The 20-year-old has reportedly won a starring role in
Kids In Love
, which is set to be directed by her friend Preston Thompson - whose father, Barnaby Thompson, owns Ealing Studios, where the film will begin shooting in September.

"The film is all about rich kids who live a wild lifestyle filled with parties and drugs," says the
Daily Mail
, so it won't be too much of a stretch for notoriously hard-partying Delevingne to get into character.

"It will be Cara's first big screen role, so she's really excited about it and is eager to make sure that she does a good job. Her name in itself will obviously be a big draw for the film too."
